Science To meet continued growth in student interest in science, the course offerings have been expanded each year. This past September earth science was offered to all freshmen. New equipment obtained for the course provided many interesting laboratory exercises. An auto-clave, purchased this year, helped to speed-up sterilization of culture media. Also as nature took her course, addi- tional cages were necessary for new generations of hamsters and mice. New equipment in both physics and chemistry has enabled students to obtain faster and more accurate measurements of data which, in turn, have produced more accurate results in student experiments.

ROY H. LANE Bowdoin College A.B.; Harvard University A M.; Algebra I. II. Geometry. Trigonometry. Calculus. An- alytical Geometry. Mathematics Depart- ment Chairman; Math Club and Math Team Adviser. Mathematics Because it is more than mere numbers, mathematics integrates imagination with facts and provides not only knowledge to fulfill present needs but also background material which will be valuable in future years. Students in college preparatory courses are presented all the basic concepts they can assimilate in the fundamental ideas and techniques of mathematics. The efforts of the department have been well rewarded by the outstanding record of the math team in the state-wide contests. Practical application of classroom knowledge is emphasized in shop, business, and general mathematics courses designed to prepare students for vocations. KENNETH W. STEWART University of Maine B.S., Algebra I. II. Geometry; Boosters Club Adviser. MISS PATRICIA A. DOWD University of Maine B.A.; Geometry. Algebra I. NORMAN L.

RONALD V. BAKER Maine Maritime Academy B.S.: University of Maine B.S.. M.A.; Latin, French; Foreign Language Department Chairman; Class of 1 967 Adviser. Foreign Language To develop an appreciation of the culture of a for- eign country is the main goal of the Foreign Language Department. In French and Spanish the student is expected to acquire a facility not only in speaking and understanding the language, but also in reading and writing it. The study of Latin involves only the skills necessary for reading and writing the language, along with a thorough study of the Roman world. The courses in any one of these three languages proceed on a sequential basis— from simple gram- matical constructions to a more detailed and complex study of the literature and of the civilization of that people.
